How to setup Live Stream Repeater for the Silverlight player

**rrlanham** · 06-16-2010, 01:53 PM

Wowza's livestream repeater works with Silverlight. I'm not sure what the ongoing issue is in your case, but you are looking for Wowza to be the problem where it is not.

Yes, the liverepeater does work with silverlight. The issue is that in a liverepeater origin-edge setup, when I request a silverlight stream from the edge node, the stream.getStreamType() returns the value 'httpstreamer' instead of the value 'httprepeater-edge'. But when I request the same stream as an iPhone request, the stream.getStreamType() correctly returns the value 'httprepeater-edge'. This distinction is important in my case as I use the stream.getStreamType() value to determine whether the request is for a Live or VoD stream.

On investigating further, I found that making a copy of the 'repeaterStreamType' property (from the cupertino section) to the smoothstreaming section of the HTTPStreamers.xml file fixes the aforementioned issue. Since you've confirmed that it wasn't an oversight on your end, I'll just add the property manually.

Thanks.

Great!, glad it's working. Thanks for the clarification and update.

Hello,

What about if I use multibitrate oon my edge using my origin ?

**rrlanham** · 06-17-2010, 05:06 PM

This is one way:

Use .stream files on the edge application that contain the whole rtmp url + stream name. For example /content/stream1.stream containing:
rtmp://[wowza-origin-address]:1935/originApp/myStream1
Make the edge Application.xml originURL empty, because the originURL is in the .stream files.
Start the .stream files with StreamManager or /conf/StartUpStreams.xml with MediaCaster Type "liverepeater"

The reference the .stream files in a smil file located in the edge application's StorageDir location /content/yoursmil.smil

Code:

<smil>
	<head>
	</head>
	<body>
		<switch>
			<video src="stream1.stream" system-bitrate="450000"/>
			<video src="stream2.stream" system-bitrate="750000"/>
		</switch>
	</body>
</smil>

I followed this example and I did the modification to the application in the conf/liveedge

*** <StreamType>liverepeater-edge</StreamType> ***

*** <LiveStreamPacketizers>smoothstreamingrepeater</LiveStreamPacketizers> ***

***
</HTTPStreamer>
<Repeater>
<OriginURL>rtmp://fms5.visionip.tv/live</OriginURL>
<QueryString><![CDATA[]]></QueryString>
</Repeater>
***

***
<Properties>
<Property>
<Name>smoothStreamingMediaMajorVersion</Name>
<Value>2</Value>
<Type>Integer</Type>
</Property>
</Properties>
***

And when I perform the test
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.46:1935/liveedge/RT_2/Manifest
I get “Oops! This link appears to be broken.”

Other tests
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.46:1935/liveedge/RT_2 -- Works
rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.46/liveedge/RT_2 -- Works

Any idea why I am not getting the Manifest from WOWZA ver 2.1.1 patch 1

Thanks,

Probably a firewall problem with port 1935.

On the same server and from the same client, these links WORK
rtsp://xxx.xxx.xxx.46:1935/liveedge/RT_2 -- Works -- VLC
rtmp://xxx.xxx.xxx.46/liveedge/RT_2 -- Works -- FlowPlayer
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.46:1935/live/bttv.sdp/Manifest -- Silverlight
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.46:1935/vod/mp4:myVideo.mp4/Manifest -- Silverlight

and only this one is NOT working
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.46:1935/liveedge/RT_2/Manifest

-- in the browser, It will shows
"Oops! This link appears to be broken."

and the server will show
WARN- HTTPStreamerAdapterSmoothStreamer.service: Request timeout: 12000
WARN- LiveMediaStreamReceiver.doWatchdog: streamTimeout: Resetting connection

Hi Charlie, I have got the same trouble with smoothstreaming as vjagannathan discribed here.
But with multibitrate configuration only. The single stream is playing fine.
